AOA Submits Comments on Pharmacy Laws
by  John CrosbyNo presence information  on 8/31/2011 5:25 PM

On 8/29/11 the AOA wrote to the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) in response to their request for the AOA to provide input on state pharmacy laws related to the practice of osteopathic medicine for the NABP’s annual Survey of Pharmacy Law. After conducting extensive research, our analysis found that the state laws and regulations relating to prescribing and dispensing authority, possession of controlled substances, and possession of non-controlled legend drugs are accurate and up-to-date.  However, we found two errors in the Survey document related to DOs rights in Puerto Rico that imply that DOs have limited prescriptive authority in Puerto Rico. We asked the NABP to correct the document to reflect the full parity between MDs and DOs as recognized by the Puerto Rico Board of Medical Examiners.​
